Demo transcript
- Select either blank or ruled paper.
- Write the main theme or question in the centre of the page e.g. What do I need to do for my revision? This becomes the hub of your mind map.
- Draw a box or circle around this hub text.
- Draw a line from the hub to your next fact or idea.
- Write down your idea or fact e.g. Make a revision plan.
- Draw a box or circle around the new text. This becomes a node on your mind map.
- Repeat steps 4 - 6 for each fact or idea you wish to note.
- If you have additional information you can link it to any of the nodes e.g. Notes, Course text and TMAs + feedback links to the Get revision material node.
- Repeat step 8 until your mind map is complete.
